Item Details

Description

East Asia, Japan, Edo to Meiji period, ca. mid 19th to early 20th century CE. A bronze articulated model of a crawfish, with a signature on the underside of its carapace. Meticulously constructed from numerous hammered plates jointed inside the body to make for a flexible form, the body bends with ease. In addition, the crustacean's antennae, limbs, and tail move; surfaces are beautifully incised, some areas detailed in repousse, and the entire surface finished with a reddish-brown patina. This piece is a fabulous example of jizai okimono or lifelike, articulated animal figures. Such pieces were first created during a peaceful period in the 17th century when the business of crafting samurai armor calmed down, and some metalsmiths turned their attention to realizing articulated sculptures like this example. Size: 6.5" L including antennae (16.5 cm).

A jizai okimono lobster, signed Kozan (Takase Kozan; 1869-1934) with cursive monogram (kao) sold at Christies New York for $37,500 on April 25, 2017.See listing: http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/a-bronze-articulated-model-of-a-lobster-6067716-details.aspxFor further contextual information, see this article: http://www.christies.com/features/A-Samurai-armourers-articulated-dragon-8184-3.aspx
